Wison New Energies has received an Approval in Principle from Lloyd’s Register for its internal turret FPSO concept, designed for offshore developments in demanding metocean conditions. The concept features a unique internal turret mooring system that integrates with the hull, risers, and topside systems. This design is aimed at reducing technical uncertainty and supporting earlier project decision-making.
The harsh-environment floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) industry has become increasingly complex, with projects often facing significant technical challenges. Lloyd’s Register's approval of Wison's internal turret FPSO concept brings a new level of confidence to the market, enabling developers to move forward with greater certainty. The approval process involved a comprehensive review of the design, which identified key technical and safety considerations.
Wison New Energies aims to develop standardized FPSO concepts that can be deployed faster in challenging offshore regions. With this approval, the company has taken a significant step towards achieving its goal. The approved concept is expected to support Wison's strategy to provide faster and more efficient project execution for FPSO developments.
The Lloyd’s Register Approval in Principle (AiP) provides an independent assurance of the design's technical adequacy at the concept stage. This reduces uncertainty and allows projects to move forward with greater confidence, as highlighted by Ian Crehan, Global Head of Energies Solutions at Lloyd’s Register. The approval marks a significant milestone in the development of harsh-environment FPSO designs.
Wison New Energies has developed a comprehensive portfolio of FPSO designs, including standard FPSO and gas-type FPSO concepts. With this approval, the company is well-positioned to undertake FPSO design projects for 90% of the current world FPSO demand. This expanded portfolio will enable faster deployment in challenging offshore regions.
